Chapter 228

The key point in making the date paste was to peel the skin off . Even if only a little skin was blended in the date paste, it would likewise severely affect its tender, sweet and smooth texture .

If the girl that often called Yuan Zhou Boss Liu saw how he peeled the skin off at the moment, she definitely wouldn’t correct herself in calling him Boss Liu . The craftsmanship simply couldn’t be described without the words of “drastically amazing . “

Yuan Zhou held a knife in his right hand with the edge toward the red date and a well-cooked date in his left hand with the tip end upward . He slightly rotated the date with the left hand along the knife edge and the skin of the red date was then peeled off . It was as seductive as the clothes of a beautiful woman falling from the smooth skin .

After that, he peeled off the hard skin and put the intact flesh into a bowl while pushing the date stone out, without damaging the flesh at all .

Having taken the intact flesh out and pounded it until it became pulp, he added some cane sugar and then began to boil it .

“System, I feel I should add some honey at the moment so that the taste and texture can reach a higher level,” said Yuan Zhou while he was boiling it with a small flame .

The system displayed, “With regard to the culinary skills, you can comprehend it by yourself . “

“You got it wrong . What I mean is that I need honey . ” Yuan Zhou ridiculed with an expressionless face .

What a joke! Yuan Zhou also wanted to buy the honey by himself but the system believed the ingredients bought outside weren’t raised or processed carefully . Besides, the quality and texture were unable to reach the selection requirements .

After Yuan Zhou said that, the system kept silent for quite a while . It was so long that the date paste was already well-cooked .

The system displayed, “Congratulations, host, for your improvement of the culinary skills . As a result, a special reward is hereby awarded . “

[Special Reward] Yanfeng Royal Jelly (available to be received)

“Well, it looks really good . ” Looking at the reward in sight, Yuan Zhou didn’t receive it immediately .

He looked again at the finished date paste . The color was in bright reddish brown and the flavor was natural and delicate .

“The cane sugar is also not bad . I can use the royal jelly next time,” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself .

From the seventh sense of a man, Yuan Zhou felt it a little strange that the system decided to release the reward to him at this time . In order not to affect his mood of making delicious dishes, he decided to receive the reward later .

Previous lessons had to be kept in mind . Every time, the reward would basically be a scam if he didn’t get it from the completion of a mission .

After the stuffing was done, Yuan Zhou prepared to make the pastry . The principle of making the pastry was naturally to complete it at a quick speed . Just within two seconds, a pastry was done in his hands . Pastries made in such a short moment naturally had no other tastes except the purest fragrance of the glutinous rice and the red dates .

The second one that Yuan Zhou made was the rose pastry . Only the name itself had already conveyed great romance as the rose had always been linked with love in recent decades . The aromatic flavor and the flamboyant or pure color could basically conquer most females .

For the rose pastry, he certainly had to extract the color of rose out first and then dye the glutinous rice flour red . Rose pastries made that way had the aromatic flavor from the inside out .

Following a sound of “Zhi Ya”, Yuan Zhou opened a cabinet and took out an intact fresh rose from inside .

The moment he opened the cabinet, the fragrance of the rose rushed into Yuan Zhou’s nose . Yet, it wasn’t pungent at all . Instead, it was quite luscious as if it had penetrated deep into his heart .

“It’s truly fresh . ” Yuan Zhou picked up a rose flower . With a slight shake, the dew spattered immediately . With his sensitive nose, Yuan Zhou certainly smelled the fragrance of the rose .

The system displayed, “It’s the rosa damascena classified in the category of edible roses . This flower is the national flower of Bulgaria . It has double petals growing in a corymb, single petal, or semi-double petals . The flower stalk and calyx tube are densely covered with glandular hair and had a strong scent . It is of high value to use . “

“The wild rose is basically free from the insects and pests, which is the law of nature . What the system uses is the edible rosa damascena . “

“I know you are awesome and use the best material every time . ” Yuan Zhou washed the flower petals and meanwhile ridiculed the system . It was just that his voice was blocked by the face mask and hence couldn’t be heard clearly .

The preparation of the rose jam was the simplest, requiring only sugar and roses . Therefore, Yuan Zhou made the rose jam first . Most of the time, people got used to eating it after preserving it for two months . For Yuan Zhou, however, he liked the fresh rose jam most as the color was bright and the fragrance was strong .

Wrapped that way, it was as if the pastry had wrapped a rose garden inside .

In one and a half hours, Yuan Zhou only made 25 colored pastries, 5 of each color, even with Yuan Zhou’s quick actions . They were then placed in the preservation cabinet provided by the system .

“Hua La”, Yuan Zhou pulled open the door . This time, girls made up the majority of the crowd that surrounded the entrance . The first ten customers were basically all girls and even Boss Tong was included .

“Good evening, Boss Yuan . Did you make the rose cookies?” The first one was naturally Man Man from the bakery store . She couldn’t wait to ask that once she spoke .

“No . ” Yuan Zhou answered her greetings with a nod, but denied Man Man’s question .

“That’s totally impossible . We all smell the fragrance of the roses . Although there is also fragrance of something else like the dates, the taste of the rose does exist . ” While following Yuan Zhou into the restaurant, Man Man said with certainty .

“What delicacies are you cooking, little Boss Yuan? The taste is so nice . Even this old lady can’t resist the temptation . ” Boss Tong asked at the back .

“Pastry . It’s a new dish of pastry, 25 in total,” Yuan Zhou stood back to his usual position and then answered .

“It turns out to be the cold snack . Boss Yuan, get me one with a flavor of the rose . ” Man Man insisted there should be roses in the ingredients .

“The flavor is random . Temporarily, there are only five flavors,” Yuan Zhou said again .

“Every time Boss Yuan says so, I believe he is absolutely unable to find a girlfriend,” Man Man said while grinding her teeth .

“No, that won’t happen . . . ” Just when Yuan Zhou intended to say the very same words, he was interrupted by Man Man .

“Because you cook well, right? But even so, you still can’t find a girlfriend because your EQ is so low . ” Man Man interrupted and told Yuan Zhou a fact that she wasn’t overwhelmed by his charm at all .

“Please order the dishes . ” Yuan Zhou decided to do business seriously . It was more interesting to make Wu Hai choke .

“A pastry . ” Looking at the crowded customers behind, of which girls were in the majority, she selected the pastry decisively .

“It’s totally 56 RMB . Thank you . ” Yuan Zhou reported to her the price .

“Here you are . The amount is just right . ” Man Man handed the money to him . Then, Yuan Zhou took out a tray and received the money with it . After that, he poured the money directly into the drawer without touching it with his hands .

Money was the dirtiest thing in the world . On the other hand, however, it was meanwhile the thing that was loved most by people . Numerous people worked hard and diligently for it, including Yuan Zhou himself .

He carried out a serving of pastry casually, which happened to be the rose pastry that Man Man longed for .

“Here’s your rose pastry . ” Yuan Zhou set down the dish lightly before taking orders from another customer behind her .

As there was no attendant now, the way Yuan Zhou took orders went back to the past . He first inquired the customers about the dishes in sequence and then carried it to them .

“So beautiful . ” Man Man began to drool toward the rose pastry . But she managed to take out the phone and take an all-around video of the dish before taking up a transparent crystal-like spoon and beginning to eat it .

The pastry was in a beautiful rose-red color . As it had barely been taken out from the preservation cabinet, it carried a trace of cool air and some white smoke was emitted from it . Inside of the transparent and crystal skin was the easily recognizable rose jam .

With the size of half a girls’ fist, the whole pastry was placed on a light brown plate, over which a fresh leaf was placed . It turned out to be a rose leaf .

A work of art with full scores on the aspects of appearance, taste and romance factor . . .
